Top 10 Things To Do, Activities and Attractions in Bridlington

"Next we made our way up the hill to Scarborough Castle. This medieval keep is in a commanding location, it would have been a spectacle to behold and easy to defend. The castle is mostly ruined now, but it is great to walk around and learn about the 3000 year history of the site."

"Peasholm Park located just inland from North Bay is the resort’s beautifully restored historic park which first opened as a pleasure fun park in June 1912. The perfect blend of heritage gardens and fun family attractions, the park has a central island with gardens and surrounding boating lake at its heart. On-site attractions include a Tree Trail, Lily Pond and Oriental style gardens."

"Just behind the North Bay is the fanciful Peasholm Park, designed in an Oriental style in 1912. At that time the park was Scarborough’s venue of choice for extravagant galas and exhibitions, but its glory faded as the century wore on. The park closed in 1999 after its pagoda was damaged by arson, but reopened in the 2000s and is now a treasured part of the resort."

"The town’s parish church was established as an Augustinian priory in 1113, which grew in importance over the next 400 years and owned land across Yorkshire at its peak. The priory was also fortified with walls following the conflict between King Stephen and Empress Matilda later in the 12th century. The priory was closed down in 1538 during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, and the nave, the last remaining structure, became the parish church."

"Bridlington Priory was founded as a Benedictine nunnery by William de Percy in the late 12th century and was dedicated to St Mary. The priory was suppressed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539 and granted to Sir John Constable. Bridlington Priory Church is a Grade II* listed building situated on the north side of the town of Bridlington."

"This picture perfect early-Georgian house dates mostly from 1714 and is in 50 acres of manicured gardens. The interior has been restored to itsEdwardian appearance at the start of the 20th century and has a room dedicated to Amy Johnson, the pioneer aviator who officially opened the house to the public in 1936. Tours are given on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 11:30 all through the summer."

"One of our favourite attractions can be found right at the north end of the town. Take the dotto train to its north terminus or walk the scenic north cliffs to find a gorgeous stately home and gardens. Sewerby Hall has been restored back to its Edwardian glory."

"High on the isthmus between the old town and castle, St Mary’s is a Grade I listed church, first erected in the 12th century. That building was mostly lost in Civil War in the 17th century, and was rebuilt at the end of the 1600s. Out in the sprawling graveyard you can find the ruins of the old west towers, which give a sense of how much larger the Medieval church used to be."

"Just south of the spa, the South Cliff Italian Gardens were plotted at the turn of the 20th century and sit on a terrace that bends with the contours of the cliff. In the Italian Renaissance style, the gardens have geometric flowerbeds, a lily pond topped with a statue of Mercury and two very ceremonious stairways climbing to shelters beneath pergolas dating to 1914. It’s all part of a long tapestry of open spaces, including a rose garden and a cliff-top path with wonderful vistas back to the castle, all equipped with stairways and the Cliff Lifts down to the beach."

"It has lots of flowers, well arranged in and around sitting areas. A good place to relax while walking around the South bay. Highly recommended to take some monkey nuts and feed the squirrels."

"Sealife Sanctuary at North Bay has long been a family favourite attraction housed within three distinct triangular buildings on the resort’s main headland and featuring a mix of indoor and outdoor marine exhibits. See seals, penguins, otters and more and this hands-on interactive underwater world. There’s plenty of opportunity for rock pooling and a host of year round children’s activities and events."
